Reply E Archer, NYC 6/2/08 Yes, well, this is what all revolutionairies say, but after the old order is toppled, there is no guarantee the new order will be what people fought for (e.g. French Revolution & Russian Revolution). Reply Mike, Norwalk 6/2/08 Archer, said well. Further, the question to be asked is, what is it that we need to become? To become free we must not remain liberals/conservatives, democrats/republicans, socialists/fascists, etc. To remain mere chattel and slaves, we need to become nothing else, we're there (-; speaking collectively, not personally, of course ;-). Reply RobertSRQ 6/2/08 Change is always inevitable - as Einstein said "Change is the only constant factor in the Universe" Reply Waffler, Smith, Arkansas 6/2/08 Great quote apropos are need to change the way we do things in reference to energy. Reply Goop, Gloucester 6/4/08 "Thank you Alex, I'll take the bleeding obvious for 10,000." Sorry, but this falls in the self-evident category. Reply warren, olathe 6/8/08 Who decides when we need to be something different? If it is our selves that make the determination then are we really being changed? If it is Waffler's Global court then we will be changed into slaves. Quote lacks any inspirational qualities. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
